Nirvana – Christmas In Seattle 1988 (Sub Pop Launch Party) Vinyl 2LP – Sealed / Mint
 
 
Offered from a serious private collection, this is a factory sealed copy of Nirvana – Christmas In Seattle 1988 (Sub Pop Launch Party), a 2LP vinyl issue associated with barcode 803343224719. This title is commonly listed as a Parachute Recording Company release and is described by sellers and release databases as a European 2LP issue tied to the Sub Pop 200 launch party material. 
 
This release draws its importance from very early Nirvana material connected to the “Sub Pop 200” LP launch party at the Hollywood Underground Club in Seattle on December 28, 1988, with additional late-December 1988 rehearsal/broadcast material also associated with the set. That makes it a particularly attractive title for collectors who want pre-Bleach era energy and raw early Seattle history in one package. 
 
 
Why This Copy Stands Apart
 
 
There are always a few copies floating around, but condition and presentation matter.
 
This copy stands apart because it is:
 
Factory sealed and never played
Original retail presentation intact
Handled as collectible stock, not bargain-bin inventory
Prepared for shipment with the same care we use for archive-grade pieces
 
Records from our collection are shipped in a thick 3 mil poly outer sleeve for added protection, giving the jacket a cleaner presentation and better protection in storage and transit.

About The Recording
 
 
For Nirvana collectors, this is the appeal: very early band history, small-room Seattle atmosphere, and material from the period when the group was still building its identity in the Sub Pop scene. Discogs and other release references specifically tie the set to the late-December 1988 Sub Pop launch party performance, which gives this title far more collector interest than a routine live bootleg with vague provenance.
